Hey Housewives!
Have you ever been offended? Like really hurt by something someone said about you, your beliefs or ideas? How about when they have attacked your character? Then there are those times where we take offense by a story we tell ourselves…that probably isn’t true.
➡️ We share a couple personal stories of how we were offended and then ask the question…Is being offended justified? Sometimes? Always or never?
We were highly encouraged by a statement in the book “The Opposite Life” by Alex Seely (link below) and shared this quote:
“I truly believe there is a fine line between being offended and staying offended that can make or break someone.”
➡️We discuss what people often find offensive…
Racism, patriarchy, religious beliefs, political views, parenting styles, all the way to how someone dresses, what size they are, etc.
➡️Offending an idea sparks discussion, offending the person leads to hurt.
Ted talk we refer to:

➡️We want to recognize that being offended and then staying offended is a choice. There will always be people who are offended…whether that was the intent of the person inferring the offense or not.
➡️We also discuss what some of the reasons are for some people getting offended…past hurts not healed, comparison, unmet expectations and more.
➡️Offending someone if inevitable, so many emotions and feelings on high…BUT what if we learn to be intentional about living unoffended?
“Imagine a world where the people of God lived unoffended. Imagine a world where people pursued relationships even when they got hurt. Imagine a world where people lived like Jesus, full of God’s spirit, where nothing could affect their love and mission for the people God had called them to serve.” —Alex Seely
➡️So HOW do we live like that? We are human and when we are hurt, it hurts.
“When God comes into our lives to save us and make us whole, we need to receive the fullness of His love. Then when we face inevitable disappointment or hurt from others, we aren’t wounded and offended.”
Alex Seely’s “The Opposite Life” book we referenced:
💙 Are you living offended? We encourage you to let go of some past hurts and feelings in order to let go, and let God! Live more freely, with joy & peace.
